Q.
One of my two big front teeth is cracked due to an accident around a year ago .There was no pain so I have not had it treated but I have noticed that my teeth have been getting discolored over time. What I want to know is whether it would be opkay to get teeth whitening even though one of my teeth is cracked? Would this have any negative effect on it?

A.
If your teeth are darkening since your accident it is possible that the nerve of the teeth is dying….this often causes a discolorizatiation. It would be important for this to be evaluated by your dentist before you decide to whiten your teeth.
